I have a DIY shower out on the patio, directly behind the sliding glass doors (about 3 feet from the door) and fastened to the patio cover upright post about seven feet up. It's a simple chrome plastic holder that a hand-held shower head can be slipped into. The typical use for this hosed shower head is in the bathroom (remove the static shower head, screw on the hose with the shower head on the end so that you can now shower seated in the tub, move it around to easily rinse out the tub, etc.). Outside the garden hose is attached to it with a brass fitting found in the garden hose section of the hardware store.

I gave the dogs baths out there yesterday afternoon while it was still hot and thought I'd take my own shower out there after dark, but after turning off house lights (it's wooded and no one can see that area, but I still turn off the lights) I saw other light - lightning - and decided that standing naked on the wet patio in a thunderstorm was not a good thing. To die out there would have been a DIY fail.
